Two workers who collapsed after coming into contact with poisonous gas while working on a construction project had to be rescued from a sewage pipe 15 meters underground in Jiangmen City, south China’s Guangdong Province last Saturday.
Firefighters rushed to the site and found the two unresponsive workers who collapsed into the deep underground tunnel. The firefighters proceeded with caution and carried oxygen masks with them before starting the rescue operation.
The firefighters lifted the workers up to the surface in ten minutes and the two were rushed to hospital immediately.
The workers are now in a stable condition.
